An intermittent urinary catheter has a catheter body extending from an open distal end to a proximal end, with the proximal end configured for insertion into an urethra. A lumen is formed longitudinally in the catheter body. Eyelets are formed through a wall of the catheter body to communicate with the lumen. Each eyelet is located equidistantly from the proximal end of the catheter body. The lumen is conical with a cross-sectional area of the lumen measured at a distal end portion of the catheter body larger than a cross-sectional area of the lumen measured at a proximal end portion of the catheter body.L'invention concerne un cathéter urinaire intermittent (1) présentant une section transversale généralement triangulaire comprenant trois faces sensiblement plates (7a, 7b, 7c) reliées par des angles arrondis (8a, 8b, 8c) et au moins un oeillet (6, 10) disposé dans une des faces.
